Speaker T.V. Eddy, Of the South Dakota
state legislature. presented picture of
superb physical development and good ma
ture at the Merchants yesterday afternoon
having dropped in from WatertOwn to at
tend to some business in ST. Paul and Mill
neapolis. He is an eX-reSdent of Illinois,
and went out to Central Dakota to achieve
fame and fortune. Honor he has attained,
and good reputation as lawyer he has
found to be a substantial beginning of for
tune. Nevertheless. he is dissatisfied. He
has one hobby. that is, the admission of
Dakota, in whole or in part. as state. Il
have not a great deal of faith in the present
statehood organization" he ventured, ''but
It is we'll to keep up the agitation.
There is strong feeling i'll favor
Of admiss ion, as you are well aware, and if
The question of division was submitted to
the people. L believe it would be carried by
n two-thirds vote. But just think of the
injustice of keeping Dakota out of the I'm
.on. We have half million people, yet we
are denied the privilege of governing our
selves. In the Fifth judicial district we
have not had Judge for three months. and
we have to go $50 miles to get an order.
There are prisoners in our county who have
lain in Jail eighteen months, waiting for
trial. They may be innocent, or they may
be guilty, but thing Of waiting all this time
for the question to be decided. They are
too much interested down at Washington
with appropriation matters, and they
haven't any time left to consider
matters for the benefit of Da-
kota. Look at our school system
as well as everything else, yet Dakota con-
tains more school children, i'll proportion to
the population OF adults, than any other
state or territory in the Union. All our
territorial institutions seem to have been
located with view to division, and the
consequence is that Central Dakota hasn't
got anything"
Senatar Marcus Johnson, of Atwater, the
very good looking delegate Kandiyoh
county has intrusted with her interests for
another term in the state senate, chatted
pleasantly with W. J. Pinney, young and
ambitious miller of Granite Falls, who,
next Saturday. will sail from New York
for Paris, to unite himself at the altar
with an extremely accomplished young
lady. now visiting in the French capital
withal quite susceptible. young men in pub
lie life, and it has often been asked of him
why in the name of all that is happy does
he not get married and enjoy life. To all
such pertinent inquiries he invariably ans
wers with bushes and discreet silence. 1t
has been very perpleXing to his friends,
but none have yet made him commit him
self. MI. Pinney wanted to take Marcus
along to Paris with the hope that the sena-
tor might find a congenial mate across the
Atlantic, but the proposition was gently re-
scented with a smile. and glance which as
much as said, "Now, don't bother me SOP,

In more serious matters. however, the
senator is match for almost anything dar-
ing. He and his colleague, Reece, fathered
the capital removal hoax, and had the au-
dacity to seriously attempt to make very
matter of fact piece of business out of it..
Mr.. johnson predicts very artlessly that the
senate will consent to a reapportionment
OF the state next session.

Delegate j. K. Toole, of Montana, went
out as far as the Mandan flood, decided
that he would not be able to get home with
less than delay of five or six days, came
back on the morning train, and yesterday,
accompanied by his niece, Miss Stout,
he started for home by way of
Omaha. Mr.. Toole was asked just as,
with portmanteau in hand, he was leaving
the hotel, if he had mortgage upon the
votes of his constituents for reelection.
Very iDnocently he replied: ''No, guess
not; but if 1 can't get there on one route,
I'll have to try another-good-byw
